Multiple Shadow Clone Technique
Hashirama shoud be listed as a user because he created the scroll of seals, which contains the Jutsu... OK?--Omojuze (talk) 11:38, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
- It was actually never said that he created it, but came to possess it. In any case it is possible to be able to teach something in principle and not be able to perform it yourself. And there's always the possibility that more that one person contributed to the scroll.--Cerez365™ 11:54, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
Well, since he had the scroll and was a 2nd Hokage, it's likely he knew how to perform it since Shadow Clone Technique is a common Jounin one, but he was never seen using it nor it was said to be a signature ability of his. --Elveonora (talk) 16:15, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
Unique Ability Addition
Shouldn't Tailed Beast Control be added as a unique ability of his? I can't recall there being anything that said that his ability to do so stemmed from Wood Release.
Edit Well, other than other than really long name no jutsu. xD I forgot about that. Skitts (talk) 17:21, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
- It stems from his Wood Release kekkei genkai, so it should already be mentioned there. Though I might've misinterpreted what you mean.--Cerez365™ 17:34, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
Other than that technique, do you know if that was specifically stated anywhere? Just wondering. The second paragraph of his Nature Transformation section also seems to be referring to it as a distinct ability of his as well, if I'm reading it correctly. Oh, and by adding it, I meant to the unique ability part of his infobox. Like how the Ultimate Summoning Animal has chakra absorption in its. Skitts (talk) 17:39, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Ah I was searching for it. It's chapter 291 pages 15 onwards in orochimaru's dialogue. Though I think we might need a direct translation, I don't think the two abilities are mutually exclusive although he does say gift(s).--Cerez365™ 17:47, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't think they are mutually exclusive either, I just couldn't remember it being stated that Wood Release was sole reason he could do so. Skitts (talk) 17:56, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
I requested that ShounenSuki translate what Orochimari said on that page by the way. Skitts (talk) 23:53, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
I've just spotted a set of swords and a giant shuriken, possibly fuma shuriken, in this picture. He seems to have used them during his fight against Madara. Should we list him as a user of said weapons and add an equipment section? --188.8.131.52 (talk) 03:24, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, he did use the giant sword in this OVA, which seems to be the extension of the said screenshot. [1] --220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:11, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
- It's a game though. They're allowed creative license. He's already been tagged as a sword user.--Cerez365™ 22:13, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
Sentence Mash up
In the introduction to Hashirama's Abilities section, there's a rather odd sentence that doesn't sound like it's written correctly:
"Kabuto commented that Hashirama is stronger than Madara Uchiha and the union between the two of them, and that his might was so vast that there weren't any shinobi in the current era that could match his level of power but also that many considered his prowess to be a mere fairy tale much like the existence of the Sage of the Six Paths."
Namely, when I read the first part about the "union between the two of them", it sounds like it's saying that Kabuto said that even after the union of his DNA into Madara's own, that Hashirama was still superior. Really, the whole sentence (which seems too long for a single one) is rather odd to me. Mind if I edit it to make it flow better? Skitts (talk) 18:54, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
Uhm i recently saw on Youtube an OVA showing Hashirama and Madara's fight which is a reward of sorts in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Generation. Should it be considered canon on some way? I ask because it had then fight and do some techniques, soo any opinions? Darksusanoo (talk) 23:42, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I think OVA stuff would fall under anime only but if it's part of the game then it's game only. A user was adding him to a few of them yesterday I believe so it should be fine.--Cerez365™ 23:48, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say it's an OVA. It's more like an anime-style cut-scene. Pierrot did several for this came. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:51, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Actually it's an OVA for when someone finishes the story mode of the game, a "reward" of sorts...or at least so i heard. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:57, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I think it'd still fall under game if it's in the game though.--Cerez365™ 00:04, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Let me guess...wait until other forms of confirmation...Darksusanoo (talk) 00:05, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

I remember reading that these original animation scenes are for the games story mode. According to Saiyan Island this is one of those cutscenes. Tobi/Madara is one of the playable characters for story mode, so maybe it's one of his cutscenes? I even if it isn't, I think it was just made for fun and shouldn't be taken seriously. They even made of Itachi vs Kisame and Sage Mode Naruto and Sasuke for the game.--Deva 27 00:20, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
Well, if it appears in anime later as an expansion of the fight scene then I guess it should be given some canonical credibility just like the Anko receiving Curse Mark scene. --Elveonora (talk) 00:51, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
Not actually a legacy
The current section about the Legacy of Hashirama Senju [[2]] is very awkward. Of the 5 paragraphs, only the last one actually talks about something that Hashirama Senju left behind. The other 4 talk about how people coveted his powers and performed genetic manipulation to get said powers.
The dictionary defines legacy as:
- An amount of money or property left to someone in a will.
- (a) Anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor. (b) Something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past. (c) Something handed down by a predecessor. (d) Something that is a part of your history or which stays from an earlier time. (e) Something such as a tradition or problem that exists as a result of something that happened in the past. (f) Something that someone has achieved that continues to exists after they stop working or die.
As you can see, the majority of that section doesn't fit the section heading. You wouldn't say that the legacy of Orochimaru's parents are Orochimaru's experiments. Or that the Yondaime's legacy is the hatred that the villagers have/had for his son. So...shouldn't this be split into 2 sections?--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 17:14, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Although definitions C-F basically defines everything in Hiashirama's legacy section, I don't see a need to be so technical. I'm not too sure why you'd even want to bring this up. A legacy is anything that a person leaves behind- simple enough; the section is being used for post-death events, that's all.--Cerez365™ 17:18, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, the primary meaning of the word legacy is synonymous to inheritance. The secondary meaning basically tells you how legacy differs from inheritance. I've put definitions A--F together from a few online dictionaries...and you are right that they all convey the thought that it is something that Hashirama Senju left behind (in this context). Except that the only persons that Hashirama Senju left his DNA to are his children and grandchildren. His enemies have stolen his DNA to get his powers. I don't think that legacy is the right word to use. But if you rename the section to After Death there wouldn't be a problem either.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 19:37, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
- The word 'legacy' is not just what you physically or genetically leave behind after your death, it is also how the people think of you after your death. Everything that is in the Legacy section fits the word perfectly fine. I see no reason to chance the title. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 19:53, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
- @ShounenSuki: I put the dictionary entry in for a reason. It doesn't mention physically or genetically. Neither do I(!). The only thing that actually fits the section title is the Will of Fire bit. And I didn't dispute that(!).
- Furthermore, if you read the secondary meanings, definitions A--C are remarkably similar to Hiden. Definitions D--E form a more generational definition of the word. Definition F is a mix of the other two.
- Which means that you're wrong; you're confusing it with public perception (which I admit can influence how people think about your legacy). The Will of Fire is a philosophy that Hashirama left behind---his legacy---but it doesn't mean that everyone values that philosophy.
- Basically, if Hashirama had made a clone of himself it could be his legacy. If someone else makes a clone of you, it's not your legacy. You could think of your own children as your legacy, but you don't think of your own corpse as your legacy. In this case everything is even worse, because those people used his DNA---his powers---to fight against everything he stood for. They were the opposite of the Will of Fire. I can't be more clear than that.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 22:09, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
Like I think I said before, your nitpicking over what the word "legacy" means is entirely unnecessary when for one, it's just a heading and two, it's exactly what a legacy is regardless of whether or not he wants it to be. Tobirama probably never intended to be looked down on for creating the Edo Tensei but people curse him for it either way.—Cerez365™ 22:17, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Here, everything that happens because of the character or had some lasting effect to others because of the character goes under Legacy. In the case of the First, the Will of Fire, Yamato, and Kabuto's enhancements, all count under the "Legacy" heading. Legacy is the best word we can come up with for such as section because "Post-Death" or something like that sounds very un-encyclopedic.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 22:23, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
@Cerez365: I never said that a person's legacy only consists of the positive things. But the difference is, Tobirama actually invented Edo Tensei. Hashirama didn't invent the genetic Wood Release power-ups. So. it's not nitpicking; it's arguing about proper word choice.
@TheUltimate3: Even according to your definition I'm having trouble understanding it. The only "lasting effect to others" that somewhat supports the argument is other people's desire to have Wood Release. But that's like saying that a billionaire's legacy is the fact that a huge number of people envy them (or hate them).
Anyway, I get what you (TheUltimate3) are trying to say. And if there were 3 paragraphs that would describe his actual legacy, and say 3 paragraphs that don't really fit, I probably would not be arguing. Then I'd probably agree that it's the best word we can come up with. But it's 1(!) paragraph about his actual legacy---which is at the end too---and 4(!) paragraphs that talk about the fact that power hungry people desire his Wood Release. It also states that 59 dead children due to Orochimaru's experiments are Hashirama's legacy. Not to mention that the section starts with:
- Because of the legacy of the Senju who are said to be direct descendants of the Sage of the Six Paths and the kekkei genkai that Hashirama possessed, his DNA became highly coveted.
while it actually talks about the heritage of the Senju. Call the section Biological clones and genetic experiments for all I care. Just don't call it something it isn't.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 00:34, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry, arguing over what a section should be called can be deemed nothing but unnecessary nitpicking. It's a simple thing: For all intents and purposes of the wikia, anything that is done/effect a person has on others or plot/anything done with this person's corpse or anything that someone might take from the aforementioned corpse and do with it after the person in question's death be it voluntary or involuntary, purposeful or accidental, falls under the broad, generic heading of "== Legacy ==" I really don't see a reason to be making this into an issue.--Cerez365™ 00:51, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
Why is he classificated as a medical nin? I thought kage would be more important to mention...—This unsigned comment was made by Antonino200 (talk • contribs) .
- Kage was his rank. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 17:29, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Kage is a rank not a classification. He was stated to be able to use medical ninjutsu in the manga. Though I am sceptic about whether or not that really made him a medical-nin.
Did not Tsunade create the organization in Konoha/class of a ninja that are known as Medical Ninja ? I remember when she asked the Konoha council to give permission to train such ninja. Thus the term "medical ninja" was used from Tsunade and later on unless Im wrong. Hashirama being able to heal his own wounds does not make him a medical ninja. --Elveonora (talk) 17:53, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
I don't recall that instance particularly well, but what Tsunade wanted was for every team to have a medical-nin. I understood that moment as medical-nin existing, though few in number, and not mandatory to be in every team. She didn't create the category, she just advocated for a greater focus in training and employing medical ninja. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:02, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes she advocated for more of them to be trained and field medics to be added to every team as a way of increasing survival rates. To me it sounds like she revolutionised that aspect of medical ninja(dom O.o) not the idea of medical ninja since there always seemed to be hospitals.--Cerez365™ 19:17, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
But should we list him as a med-nin just cause he could heal himself ? Unless we see him healing others I don't think so ... and even if then, Krain can heal others but she ain't a med-nin. Med-nin is a ninja specialization.--Elveonora (talk) 23:16, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
- I know it's a bit strange, but I don't see any reason not to add him as a med-nin when I think about it. Karin heals people yes, but unlike Hashirama she's never been stated to use medical ninjutsu — which is what a medical nin does regardless of whom it is that they heal. Chiyo for example is a puppeteer but she still falls under the classification "medical-nin" even if it wasn't what she was renown for.--Cerez365™ 23:31, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
i think we're being slightly to hasty when we call him a medical ninja despite what madara said. we have to make the distinction between being a medical ninja ( meaning you could also heal other people) and having regenerative properties (like kurama cloak naruto). so far it has only been stated by madara that "he could heal himself without using handsigns which sounds more like regeneration instead of actual medical ninjutsu.--—This unsigned comment was made by Iowndisciti (talk • contribs) .
- Madara never said anything about regeneration. In the conversation, he berated Tsunade's medical ninjutsu skills while comparing them to Hashirama's techniques (pages 14-15 chpt 576). Just because a medical nin may heal themselves, doesn't mean it's not medical ninjutsu. For all we know Hashirama may (or may not) have used his abilities to heal others. Madara was simply speaking about his battle specifically where four persons were involved — obviously he's not going to heal Kurama and we don't know exactly when Mito arrived on the scene. There are persons who are not main sensory types for example but are classified as such because they have the ability to do so.--Cerez365™ 11:29, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
Contract Seal
It's my understanding that the OVA from Naruto Shippuden Storm Generations is considered anime only cannon, as Madara has Wind release from his use of it in the OVA. So my question is, should Contract Seal be added to Hashirama? He appears to use it around the 4:45 mark by the vid I watched of it. Arrancar79 (talk) 02:16, March 12, 2012 (UTC) I'm not sure if this should be listed as an OVA/OAV. It is an original animated video, but it was meant for the game. I'm really not sure how to approach this because a lot of the cutscenes in the game, which were retellings, did not follow the established canon. Diamonddeath (talk) 05:53, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
Strength of a Hundred Technique
Madara said that the this technique can used and Hashirama!! it means that Hashirama too can use this technique?—This unsigned comment was made by Chghjik (talk • contribs) .
- From what I read, Madara said that this technique was similar to Hashirama's ability. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 05:02, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
It was just similar ... Tsunade created this technique and Madara never heard of it --Elveonora (talk) 16:39, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
Tailed Beasts
Did he have them against Madara when battling him or took control of them later ?--Elveonora (talk) 23:07, June 9, 2012 (UTC)
- I think by the time of the battle, they were already given out to the other villages. Though it would seem that some were in the wild(?) since Kumo made an attempt on capturing Kurama.--Cerez365™(talk) 23:15, June 9, 2012 (UTC)
So he couldn't have used them against Madara then ?--Elveonora (talk) 23:40, June 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Dunno. With the little information we have, anything's possible.--Cerez365™(talk) 23:53, June 9, 2012 (UTC)
just needed clarification hashirama is said to have such great powers but wen u look at how madara is fightin rite now and wen u look at hashirama's fight against the third the power difference seems huge even though hashirama is well known to be stronger than madara do u get y this is? —This unsigned comment was made by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) .
- I believe Orochimaru's Edo Tensei was flawed or something to that effect as said by Kabuto.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:22, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Orochimaru erased Hashirama's personality, and had their battle was limited by the barrier that kept others out. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:21, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
You must remember that a user is in control of the Edo's action. Orochimaru simply didn't know all of their capabilities, while Madara was given a green light from Kabuto to do as he please--Elveonora (talk) 20:41, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
that does make more sense :)--—This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
Maternal Grandfather?
Is it possible that Hashirama is Tsunade's maternal grandmother? I remember seeing when Tsunade met Hashirama she was baby, there was a woman holding her who bear a great resemblance to Hashirama. I assume that woman is Tsunade's mother, therefore that would make the woman Hashirama's daughter. So does this mean that Hashirama is Tsunade's maternal grand father?--Black Ronin8 (talk) 12:07, July 31, 2012 (UTC)Black Ronin8
- The image you're referring to is inaccurate, that is why it's not used here. Hashirama would have been long since dead before Tsunade was born. As for whether or not he could be her maternal grandfather, yes anything is possible.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:10, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
Ah, I should've realized that that, lol. And did you notice that the woman in that image almost resembles Mito, to some degree?--Black Ronin8 (talk) 12:40, July 31, 2012 (UTC)Black Ronin8
- She does, I suppose but Mito wouldn't be that old and Hashirama still looking that young however.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:44, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm afraid to say it's very accurate, Cerez. Why you ask? 'Cause it was shown in the episode where Jiraiya and Naruto found Tsunade and Shizune. --X29 17:20, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I think he means that it's inaccurate in relation to the manga. I don't even recall an image like that in the manga. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:39, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

- Thank you, Third Lord Admin. In that case, it's not really accurate,. But I'm sure Kishimoto authorized it. --X29 17:48, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the edit Omni, it confuses me when people reply to the middle of a topic. Besides, I don't think it's mentioned in "anime-manga differences" how is it? Not only:
- Hashirama was dead when Tsunade was a baby
- Mito was likely about the same age as him
- The only explanation I can come up with: Mito was aging older due to messed up Uzumaki genes, and Hashirama is there as a ghost.
- Seriously, it's a continuity error and if the lady is supposed to be Mito, it's GROSS as well... I don't think Hashi was into grannies.
@K29, dunno if to reply "stop trolling" or "I see what you did there, lol" I know that Kishimoto is a perv, but this is too much even for him... LOL--Elveonora (talk) 17:50, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Lady, I meant that Kishi authorized this picture to be allowed, not what your mind thinks of. --X29 17:54, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
And you know that because... Kishi can't sit in the laps of the animation studio. He has no control over what they fuck up.--Elveonora (talk) 18:09, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Language lady, and please, he doesn't have to be there. I'm pretty sure they contact his work place and ask for permission on what they do........ or something like that. --X29 18:11, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
Uhm, I meant that if Tsunade was alive when Hashirama (who died before the First Shinobi World War) then she'd have to be older than 50. I used to think it was a usable image but Shounensuki discredited the timeline of the image/event.--Cerez365™(talk) 18:49, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Hiruzen was present during the First Shinobi World War, and he looked like he was in his 20s. And by the time of the series, he was 69. So, Tsunade's age's sounds suitable for me. --X29 18:55, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not a very big fan of timelining because my brain can't handle it and I do wish that I could find the discussion Shounen had about the image but I haven't been able to. Any way, Tobirama died before SWWI just to note, not during it, which means he could have died when Hiruzen was still a child, so I don't think you can use that as a benchmark for her being around during that time. Still, I dunno.--Cerez365™(talk) 19:24, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- My dear Cerez, my dear Cerez, you're mistaking the two Hokages. Hashirama, the one with the black hair, red armour and with the Wood Style Ninjutsu, is the first Hokage, while Tobirama, the one with the white hair, blue armour and the expert on Water Style Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu (In animé) and Space-Time Ninjutsu, is the second Hokage. Yes, Hashirama died before SWWI, but I'm pretty sure it was before it with a little while, since Hiruzen was alive during the reign of Hashirama, and I'm pretty sure Tobirama's reign wasn't that long. --X29 19:30, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- No, I have my Hokage straight. I don't believe either Hokage ruled for very long because of the era they were in, but I'm referring to this time frame when I say that Hashirama could have died soon after that meaning Tsunade who is almost 20 years younger than Hiruzen(?) would have either been in a womb somewhere at most or not even a thoughtof as yet when her grandfather died.--Cerez365™(talk) 19:42, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- What's with the language?
- I'm a guy, stop hitting on me.
- Hiruzen, Danzo and others were 22-23 during the First Shinobi War.
- The Sannin were almost 52 (late 51) in Part I. and are about 18 years younger than Hiruzen was.
- Tsunade in that image looks 1 year old, Hashirama was long dead during the end of Tobirama's reign.
- Hashirama has died when Hiruzen, Danzo and staff were about 12, and during the time of that Tsunade image, 19 years old.
- Thus Hashirama was dead for like 7 years and according to anime, appeared there as a ghost.--Elveonora (talk) 19:45, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
Loooool at you two. Ah love is in the ai-I mean... 1 year old? at least 3 '~' So that still leaves him dead for 5 years.--Cerez365™(talk) 19:48, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
1-3, the point stays, Hashirama was dead during her birth already. Why isn't it added in anime-manga differences though?--Elveonora (talk) 19:59, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- @Elveonora
- Apologies! The username gave me the impression that you were a girl, but it's kinda your fault for not listing yourself as a male. And I wasn't hitting on you in the slightest. And I think Hashirama was alive when she was a kid, but died soon after. As for the language, you should watch your language.The F and C and S words.

- This isn't funny, mate. I have a girlfriend, and I'm pretty sure it'll tear her apart if she ever knew I was hitting on some other girl (Not you, Elveonora), which I'm not.

- Apology accepted, even thought I'm sure you were aware all along that I'm a guy.
- I'm not obliged to list personal information here.
- Just now you were proven wrong, so even if it's cute that you think that, the canon says otherwise.
- You keep your bird and reptile analogies and anti-perv genes, and I will express in my own way.
- Yeah, it will tear her apart that you are hitting on a guy.
--Elveonora (talk) 20:29, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, but it's not very personal, and it'll help to not cause anymore confusion like this. But I'm not telling you that you must. Just suggesting it to you.
- The canon didn't say anything like that. If it did, I wouldn't be talking about it unless I didn't know of it being mentioned.
- I'm afraid that every time you use wrong language, I'll have to...... alert you, shall we say, since I can't find any other word.
- Which I wasn't.

ShounenSuki sensei's timeline uses manga chapters and databooks as the source. I, and many others have calculated it many times.

He said the same, Hashirama already dead when Tsunade was born. Also the OP, what a retarded logic. The old babe doesn't exist, it's a mistake by the animation team. She is neither Mito (even though she really looks like her for some reason) and how can an old babe be a mother in such old age and have a MUCH younger looking father?--Elveonora (talk) 22:27, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
I see. And he took all that info from databooks and the manga? Interesting. And I'm not saying the old lady holding Tsunade is Mito, although she looks like her, or that she's Tsunade's mum. But if she's Hashirama's daughter, then I guess his healing ability extended to the point where he doesn't look old at all. Not saying it's true, of course. Just speculation, which I won't discuss. --X29 22:46, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
Hahahahaha :D Wait... ur right O_o Tsunade mentioned something in reference to Tobi being immortal due to Hashi boob, maybe he had found the answer to aging or something "_" But nope cause as I said, I don't think that Hashirama's daughter would had children in such an advanced age, nor that Hashirama's daughter could look about the same age as his wife even years later after that supposed point in time on that photo. It's obviously a result of the animators not giving a fuck about things such as canon. Topic closed, we had some fun and now we can move along.--Elveonora (talk) 22:52, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Either ways, knowing whether Tsunade was born before or after Hashirama died won't help us in the slightest. So, yes, we just close this topic with this: Nothing confirmed, only speculation for everyone, useless to confirm, thank you Narutopedia and goodnight! --X29 23:00, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
hey,i was wondering if we can put a list of beings(or things) that were made/partially made up of Hashirama's cells like zetsu(white,still not sure about black), the TOBI android, the living clone. and obito?--Saeyatachi (talk) 07:09, September 26, 2012 (UTC)Saeyatachi
- Since those are not really relatives, those are best left mentioned in the legacy section. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:19, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
okay, i guess so..--Saeyatachi (talk) 00:19, September 27, 2012 (UTC)Saeyatachi
Controlling Nine-tailes?
Guys, who put that idiotic statement in Hashirama's legacy section, I will remove it in 3 mins for sure. Where the hell was it mentioned that Danzou controlled Kurama?Undominanthybrid (talk) 18:48, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Chapter 478 page 16. I'd also thank you not to level threats against the information in the articles.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:48, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
Should Zetsu and Swirl Zetsu or even Hashirama's Living Clone be added to the family of Hashirama? Zelwolf (talk) 14:33, October 17, 2012 (UTC)Zelwolf
They all have Hashirama's DNA. Zetsu and Swirl Zetsu all have Hashirama as a family source, so why not add it to Hashirama page its self? Zelwolf (talk) 20:00, October 17, 2012 (UTC)Zelwolf
EDIT:Excuse me, sorry I miss read the Info Box. They have Hashirama's Living Clone as a family source, not Hashirama Senju him self. Feel free to delete this if you would like. Zelwolf (talk) 20:03, October 17, 2012 (UTC)Zelwolf
Wood Dragon
Why isn't hashirama listed as a user of the wood dragon technique ?--Naruto6paths (talk) 15:29, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
It isn't listed on his main page I mean.--Naruto6paths (talk) 15:42, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Infoboxes take a while to poll information from new articles since the 1.19 update. The fact the article was needlessly moved twice doesn't help either. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:18, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
Should we remove part about the contract seal now?
Because currently the contract seal is listed as the reason he was able to stop Kurama during his fight against Madara.
But that source is non-canon and has been proven false Madara stated that it was Hashirama's wood dragon and not a contract seal that took control of Kurama from Madara.
--Thdyingbreed (talk) 21:12, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
It's anime-only, isn't it? That automatically makes it non-canon--Elveonora (talk) 02:21, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
It's not even from the anime technically it was just animation made for a video game so no it's not canon.
--Thdyingbreed (talk) 02:32, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Neither anime additions/fillers are canon, it was animated thus anime content. No reason to point out the obvious for people--Elveonora (talk) 01:17, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Art materials for consumers of all ages must comply with a number of requirements under federal law. Art materials that are designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger must meet additional requirements, which are described below.
An "art material" or "art material product" means any substance marketed or represented by the producer or repackager as suitable for use in any phase of the creation of any work of visual or graphic art of any medium and packaged in sizes intended for individual users of any age or those participating in a small group.
See examples of art materials and additional FAQs here.
Art Materials for All Ages
Federal law requires that all art materials offered for sale to consumers of all ages in the United States undergo a toxicological review of the complete formulation of each product to determine the product's potential for producing adverse chronic health effects and that the art materials be properly labeled for acute and chronic hazards, as required by the Labeling of Hazardous Art Materials Act (LHAMA) and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA), respectively.
- Chronic Hazard Review Performed by a Toxicologist
All formulations of art materials that are offered for sale to consumers of all ages in the United States must be evaluated by a toxicologist for their potential to cause adverse chronic health effects, prior to such products being offered for sale. See CPSC's Arts and Crafts Safety Guide and the law, LHAMA, Public Law 100-695, for more information.
After the chronic hazard review has been performed by a toxicologist, the toxicologist will then recommend the appropriate statement to label that the product conforms to ASTM D-4236. The statement can read: "Conforms to ASTM Practice D-4236,"; "Conforms to ASTM D-4236"; or "Conforms to the health requirements of ASTM D-4236." This statement can be placed on the product, on an outer container (for a kit), on an invoice for the product, or on a retail display, as long as the consumer is informed that the product's formulation has been reviewed.
- Acute and Chronic Hazard Labeling by a Manufacturer
In addition, the FHSA requires that a manufacturer affix cautionary labeling to household substances, including art materials, for certain acute and chronic hazards if those substances meet the definition of "hazardous substance" under the FHSA. See 15 U.S.C. § 1261(2)(q) and the FHSA Regulatory Summary for more information.
Note that while a toxicologist is required to perform the chronic hazard review, a toxicologist is not required to conduct the acute hazard review for the art material. Nevertheless, a manufacturer bears the responsibility to ensure that the product is properly labeled for both (i) acute and (ii) chronic hazards. A manufacturer may – but is not required to – enlist the assistance of a toxicologist or any qualified person with appropriate expertise to assist them. In many cases, a reviewing toxicologist should be able to provide a review for both chronic and acute hazards, if the manufacturer does not have the expertise, and to recommend appropriate labeling.
In addition, if an art material product is found to present an acute or chronic hazard, the product would require cautionary labeling. The labeling would be based on the type of hazard identified.
Art Materials for Children Under 12 Years of Age & the CPSIA
In addition to the LHAMA requirements discussed above, art materials – such as paint brushes and stencils – that are designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger, are also required, like all children's products, to comply with the requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). These requirements include complying with the 90 parts per million limit on lead in surface coatings or paint and the 100 parts per million limit on total lead content in a product's substrate.
- Banned Hazardous Substances
Children's art materials that contain substances that meet the definition of "hazardous substance" under the FHSA may be banned hazardous substances if the hazardous substance is accessible by children and the child is not old enough to read and heed instructions. However, there are certain exemptions described in the CPSC's Art and Craft Safety Guide. These exemptions are summarized below.
- Limits on lead in paint and other substances; limits on lead content
- Testing and Certification
The CPSIA also requires that manufacturers (this term includes importers) of children's art materials must test and certify compliance of such products before importing the products or distributing them in commerce. Manufacturers must submit samples of their product to a third party laboratory whose accreditation has been accepted by the CPSC to test for compliance with all applicable children's product safety rules. Based on that testing, the manufacturer must issue a Children's Product Certificate, specifying each applicable rule, and indicating that the product complies with those rules. No third party testing or certification is required for LHAMA or the FHSA.
For example, for an art kit intended for children 12 years of age or younger that contains paint and a paint brush, the paint would need to be labeled properly and have its formulation reviewed by a toxicologist, as discussed above. In addition, the paint and the brush would need to be tested by a CPSC-accepted laboratory for compliance with, respectively, the lead paint limit of 90 parts per million and the lead content limit of 100 parts per million. Then, the manufacturer would need to issue a Children's Product Certificatethat lists all applicable safety rules and certifies that the paint brush and paint comply with those rules based on the testing results.
- Tracking Labels
Children's art materials must have a tracking label or other distinguishing permanent mark. The tracking label shall be a permanent distinguishing mark on the product and its packaging, to the extent practicable, and must contain certain basic information, including: (1) the name of the manufacturer or private labeler, (2) the location and date of manufacture, and (3) cohort information, such as a batch or run number.

|Aegypius (1)
The cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus) is the largest bird of prey in the Old World (3) (5) and one of the heaviest and largest of all raptors (6). A large, dark brown bird, the cinereous vulture has broad wings which have a serrated appearance to their trailing edges, owing to the pointed tips of the secondary feathers (3). In flight, the tips of the wings show seven deeply splayed 'fingers' (5), and this species has a short, slightly wedge-shaped tail (2) (3) (5) (6) (7).
The bare skin on the head and neck of the cinereous vulture is blue-grey, and there is some blackish down on the head (2) (7) and a brown 'Elizabethan' ruff of feathers around the hind neck (3). This ruff is paler in older individuals (2) (6) and gives the cinereous vulture its alternative name of 'monk vulture', as it is thought to resemble a monk's hood (6). This species also has a contrasting black throat and black markings around the eyes, while the bare skin around the base of the bill is pale blue-grey (3) (5). The cinereous vulture has a very powerful bill (5), which is mostly dark but has a lighter area at the base (3).
When the cinereous vulture is observed in flight, the undersides of the flight feathers are notably paler than the wing-coverts, with an even paler line running through the underwings. Some individuals display more unusual plumage, with white feathers on the upper side of the wing. It is believed that this may be a trait exclusive to males. The legs and feet of this species are pale in colour (3).
The sexes of this species are alike (7), although females are often larger than males (3). Juvenile cinereous vultures are generally darker than adults and often look almost black (2) (3) (7). Unlike adults, they lack the pale line on the underside of the wing (3), and have pinkish to pale grey skin on the head (2) (3). As the juvenile cinereous vulture gets older, the down on its head gets paler and its eyes change from dark brown to reddish-brown (3).
The adult cinereous vulture is distinguishable from the Eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), with which it will often gather at a carcass, by its larger, squarer head, darker plumage and larger overall size (3).
The cinereous vulture rarely uses its voice, but when it does its vocalisations include unspecialised croaks, grunts and hisses when feeding, and mewing, squalling or roaring during the breeding season (2) (7). In flight, individuals fly with slow, powerful wingbeats and soar with flat wings (3).
The cinereous vulture is a carrion-feeder and is usually dominant over other species when gathered at a carcass (2) (3). It feeds on medium to large carcasses (2) (3) (5) (7) and rarely takes live prey, although it may eat some insects, tortoises, snakes and lizards (2) (5) (7). The cinereous vulture feeds heavily on livestock carcasses in Mongolia and relies upon this food source for successful nesting there (7).
This vulture displays an unusual aggressive behaviour of bending over and lifting specialised breast feathers so that the feathers appear like brushes on either side of the head, and this is often associated with a slow 'foot showing' display. The cinereous vulture is less social than other vulture species, and usually only one individual will feed at a time. When approaching a carcass, this species' final descent is characterised by swept-back wings, the head being held low and the feet being pushed forward in line with the head (3).
The cinereous vulture breeds either in loose colonies or alone (2) (5). The nests of this species are usually built in trees, or often on rocks in Asia (2) (7), and are built from sticks, producing huge constructions that can measure nearly two metres across and up to three metres deep (2). The cinereous vulture lays a single egg between February and April (2) (5), with an incubation period of 50 to 62 days (2). Males and females cooperate to rear their young, and the chick tends to spend more than 100 days in the nest and to stay with the adults for 2 to 3 months after fledging before it becomes independent (5).
Many pairs of cinereous vultures do not breed every year. In captivity, this species has been known to live to an impressive 39 years old (2).
The cinereous vulture has a large range across Europe and Asia, stretching from Spain to China in the breeding season and from the Middle East, across India and east to North and South Korea during the winter. In Europe, this species is mainly found in Spain and the Balkans region, with a small reintroduced population in France (2) (7).
Different populations of the cinereous vulture have different migratory behaviours, with the species being classed as a 'partial migrant'. Some populations are sedentary, remaining in the same areas year-round, while others move long distances between their breeding and wintering grounds. In Central Asia, the cinereous vulture often follows nomads and their livestock around (2).
The cinereous vulture occurs in scrub, arid and semi-arid alpine steppe and open grassland, as well as forest. It can be found at elevations of around 300 to 1,400 metres in Europe, and up to 4,500 metres in Asia (2) (7).
The cinereous vulture is currently facing two main threats: direct human-caused mortality and reduced food availability. Habitat loss may also present a threat to this bird. The use of poisoned baits for predator extermination, as well as shooting and the destruction of nests, all contribute to human-associated deaths. Like many other vultures, this species may also be negatively affected by the use of veterinary drugs such as diclofenac, while high concentrations of antibiotics in its prey may be increasing nestling mortality in Spain (7).
In some Asian countries, the cinereous vulture has been affected by a severe decline in one of its main prey species, the saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica), as well as by general declines in both wild ungulates and domestic livestock. In some areas, livestock numbers have declined due to changing agricultural practices and a movement of people from the countryside to cities. In Europe, laws on carcass disposal have decreased the food available to the cinereous vulture, although more recent legislation allows feeding stations to operate for this and other scavengers (7).
The cinereous vulture decreased in Europe in recent centuries, and became extinct in countries such as France, Portugal, Italy, Austria and Poland (6). There are now increasing numbers of this species in parts of Europe, particularly in Spain (7) (8), but its populations are suffering declines in Asia (7) as well as decreasing in Armenia, Georgia, Russia, Turkey and the Ukraine (7) (8).
Owing to the EU Birds Directive as well as cooperation between government bodies and conservationists, populations of the cinereous vulture in Europe, particularly in Spain, have experienced significant growth since the 1980s (7) (9). Strategies introduced by Spanish and Andalusian governments include the introduction of anti-poisoning guidelines. Parts of Spain and France have also developed feeding programmes in an effort to support cinereous vulture populations by supplementing their natural diet and providing a reliable, poison-free food source. However, this species may not always be willing to feed at artificial stations. Similar strategies have been implemented in Bulgaria and South Korea (7).
Other conservation tactics which have been implemented include a reintroduction programme in Grands Causses in the south of France, where a small breeding population of cinereous vultures has been established (7) (10). The cinereous vulture is also listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that any international trade in this species or its parts should be carefully controlled (4).
In addition, a number of further actions to aid conservation efforts for this species have been proposed. These include a survey of the status and population trends of the cinereous vulture outside of Europe, a reintroduction programme to link eastern and western populations, and enforcing laws that deal with illegal poisoning of vultures with baited meat. The population of wild rabbits, one of this vulture's main prey species, also needs to be restored in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands (7).

By Misha DiBono
SAN DIEGO, California — (KSWB) — A war veteran who lost her ability to walk and stand two years ago, took multiple steps again thanks to an advance exoskeleton technology.
Sgt. Terry Hannigan has an autoimmune disease that slowly robbed her of the ability to walk. Two years ago, she finally succumbed to a full time wheelchair.
"I was so depressed I didn't want to go on. I had no goals. I didn't want to be in wheelchair. How am I going to be part of normal society again?" the Vietnam veteran said.
Hannigan enrolled in an experimental research program through the VA and within one week of physical therapy using ReWalk Rehabilitation 2.0 exoskeleton technology, she was walking.
"Overwhelming tears flowed," said Hannigan. "I had to sit down because I couldn't believe I was standing."
On Tuesday, Argo Medical Technologies unveiled their advanced exoskeleton technology with ReWalk at the San Diego Convention Center.
ReWalk vice president of sales Pete Escallier said the technology is similar to the popular Segway people mover.
"To initiate walking it has a tilt sensor like a Segway. When she wants to walk she leans forward and changes the center of gravity," Escallier said.
The ReWalk was invented by an Israeli engineer after he suffered an accident that left him quadriplegic. It uses computer technology and motion sensors to allow the person to walk again.
Hannigan said she is totally in control.
"My upper body communicates with the computer in the back. You can't see it but I'm actually shifting a little bit left and right," Hannigan said. "I can go up and down steps, simple curbs, walk-up and down ramps…Bionic woman – watch out!"
The ReWalker is already approved for personal home use in Europe and is expected to be approved by the FDA sometime this year.
When used in physical therapy, it also relieves side effects of atrophy, respiratory issues, circulation problems, bowel and bladder issues, Escallier said.
"All of those things are improved and we'll soon have studies to prove that," said Escallier. "Hopefully that will allow for insurance to pay for this when the personal version comes out."
For now it's only available to be used for physical therapy. If all goes as planned, ReWalk will be life-changer. It certainly was for Hannigan.
"I went from being severely depressed, even suicidal to hopeful. I'm doing things that I thought were gone for the rest of my life," she said.

Scroll Tone RGB (2011) - Travess Smalley
Sibyl (2011) - Yoshi Sodeoka
NOTE: This is one of the pieces from an ongoing psychedelic/ambient video project.
This project (yet to be titled) was inspired by the idea of 70's progressive rock concept albums. It will consist of several short videos. Each piece will be autonomous, but when viewed together will create a larger whole. The final number of videos and the total lengths are yet to be determined; each video will be released as it is completed.
All videos will be directed and produced by Yoshi Sodeoka. Music will be composed by a collaborative effort of Yoshi Sodeoka and Daron Murphy.
Shimmer (1985) - Ed Tannenbaum
Sound composition by Maggie Payne.
Interactive Mandala (2010) - Don Miller
Like traditional Buddhist sand mandalas, each interactive mandala created is unique and impermanent. The design is created using random noise rotated around a center point to create ordered intricate patterns and changing colors. The user can interact with this mandala for meditative purposes, zooming to any level, applying rotation or a preset movements. The user can also choose to destroy and create a new mandala at any moment, but will never receive the same one again.
Controls: use scroll wheel on mouse to zoom, click and drag to rotate and spin. "Q" resets view and creates new mandala. "W" resets view. "A" dissolves mandala. "Z" stops the dissolve. "1" and "2" slow down and speed up the rotation.
Retrospectroscope (1996) - Kerry Laitala
The Retrospectroscope was made using a single sheet of Plexiglas 5 ft. in diameter, and was mounted directly on a stand and illuminated from behind. As an optical device, its function was to create the illusion of movement utilizing large format still images. The "Retrospectroscope" apparatus has gone through many incarnations, its presence belies the processes that have created it. As a pre-cinematic device, it traces an evolutionary trajectory, encircling the viewer in a procession of flickering fantasies of fragmented lyricism. This re-invention simulates the illusion of the analysis of motion to recall early mysteries of the quest for this very discovery now taken for granted; the "Muses of Cinema" represented by the female figures on the disk, have emerged from a dark Neoclassical past.
Conjuring Sound: Arcana V: Music, Magic and Mysticism, Edited by John Zorn
Music is analyzed and discussed using tools from many different fields - history, musicology, and sociology, to name a few. But words like "magical" and "mystical" rarely enter into the critical vocabulary when talking about music. Perhaps it's because words like that tend to bring to mind the wilder, wackier reaches of the "New Age" section of the bookstore. Perhaps it's also because "magic" and "mysticism" seem to imply that there are aspects of music that elude our critical grasp -- intangible qualities that escape the bounds of conventional analysis. For people who study music, this can be a hard pill to swallow. But musicians throughout the ages have openly referenced mysticism and mystical concepts in their work - a roster that includes everyone from composers like Alexander Scriabin and Olivier Messiaen to jazz musicians like John Coltrane and Albert Ayler to stadium rockers like Led Zeppelin.
A few months ago, after visiting the "Brion Gysin: Dreamachine" exhibition at the New Museum, I came across a dusty book in a small East Village bookshop titled Music, Mysticism and Magic: A Sourcebook, edited by Joscelyn Godwin. The book was published in 1986; the cover was purple and covered with symbols. The 61 brief chapters featured excerpts from the writings of figures ranging from Plato to the avant-garde composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. I was intrigued.
After looking up more information on the book, I came across a new book with an oddly similar title: Music, Magic, and Mysticism, edited by John Zorn (Tzadik, 2010). It is the fifth installment of Zorn's "Arcana" series of anthologies of critical writing on music, most of it written by musicians. The contributors to this volume are impressive: Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveros, Yusef Lateef, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, David Toop, Gavin Bryars, and Alvin Curran, to name a few.

Canon is proud to offer the Canon FS21 Dual Flash Memory camcorder. Light, more compact and user-friendly, the Flash Memory Canon FS21 brings you stunning video at an affordable price. As employed in advanced electronic products such as laptop computers, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones, Flash Memory has numerous benefits. Canon offers the best in Flash Memory with Dual Flash Memory, enabling you to record to both the camcorder's generous 16GB internal Flash drive and a removable SDHC card. It not only extends the recording space available, but also gives you added flexibility in file transfer and playback. You'll have a chance to catch even more of your life's special moments with the FS21. Adding to the usefulness of this camcorder is Canon's Quick Charge - which reduces the recharge time for the FS21's battery, and Pre-Record gives you a head start on capturing the action.
With the FS21's Canon Exclusive features such as Canon 48x Advanced Zoom and our DIGIC DV II Image Processor, combined with a 1.07-megapixel CCD image sensor, Image Stabilization and a 2.7-inch Widescreen LCD and our new Quick Charge feature- you've got a Flash Memory camcorder that's both hard to beat and unmistakably Canon.
Dual Flash Memory: 16GB Internal Flash Drive & SDHC Card Slot
What makes the FS21 stand out in the category of Flash Memory camcorders is its Dual Memory capability. You can capture video on both the camcorder's internal 16GB Flash Memory as well as onto an SDHC memory card.
Video stored on the internal Flash drive can also be copied onto the memory card which can then be inserted into your computer or television's card reader slot for immediate viewing.
Additionally, you can use higher capacity memory cards to further increase the video storage of your FS21.*A Class 2 or higher card is recommended. Also, movie recording requires cards with 128MB of memory or more. Cards made by Toshiba, SanDisk or Matsushita are recommended. No particular restrictions apply for still images.
Ultra-Sleek, Compact and Lightweight Design
Making this technology even more convenient to use is the FS21's compact size and light weight. Measuring only 2.2 inches wide, 2.3 inches high and 4.8 inches deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry camcorder weighing only 7.9 ounces.
In addition to the advantage of added recording time, Flash Memory, as found in the FS21, offers more to you as well. You'll appreciate its quick response time, because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. Press the record button and your FS21 starts recording video faster than you've ever seen before. In addition, when you review your footage, it will start playing more quickly as well.Another plus is the FS21's lower power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. It's just what you need so you don't miss that pivotal play on the field or the moment when they say "I do."
While we certainly hope you keep your FS21 securely in your hand while shooting, if it happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that Flash Memory makes your camcorder more shock resistant than other recording storage systems. It also minimizes the chance of data loss due to damage to your recording media or the moving parts found in other camcorders.*A Class 2 or higher card is recommended. Also, movie recording requires cards with 128 MB of memory or more. Cards made by Toshiba, SanDisk or Matsushita are recommended. No particular restrictions apply for still images.
Canon Exclusive: Genuine 48x Advanced Zoom
The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom on the FS21 is just the kind of exclusive Canon feature you've come to expect from the leader in imaging and optics. Advanced Zoom extends the power of your zoom and is the longest zoom Canon has ever offered. In both wide angle and telephoto positions, there is virtually no loss in image quality throughout the range. How is this accomplished? With a Genuine Canon lens which remains in constant motion through the entire extended zoom range aided by our proprietary DIGIC DV II image processor.
There's practically no loss in image quality through an extraordinary range of zoom, so you'll get good, clear shots as you follow that sailboat race around the harbor or catch every step of that toddler scrambling across the lawn.
The FS21 offers you more flexibility to get just the shot you need by giving you the choice of Advanced Zoom in default mode or you can select a 37x optical zoom or 2000x digital zoom. You will always be able to get the shot you need, no matter how close or far away and always with the quality you expect from Canon.
1.07-megapixel CCD Image Sensor
With the FS21 you get a powerful 1.07-megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be sharp, clear and more true to life, as will your still photos. You'll capture every dramatic color in a sunset at the beach and see more clearly than ever the happiness on the face of your child as she scores the winning goal in the big game. Relive your memories, just as they happened.
Canon Exclusive: DIGIC DV II Image Processor
The Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor is the next generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing technology. DIGIC DV II ensures optimal image quality. It also ensures optimal image quality for still images, even though video and still images have different color requirements. DIGIC DV II is just another one of Canon's advanced technologies that make the FS21 an exceptional performer.
Thanks to Canon DIGIC DV II image processing, the FS21 produces video with improved color reproduction - especially in skin tones, and dark and light scenes. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction - for video images that are crystal clear. Regardless of your subject or setting, there's no worry about capturing them more closely to the way they appear in front of you.
Plus, the Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor features improved continuous shooting of digital photographs with the FS21. You can shoot five 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy faster processing of your images to both the FS21's internal memory as well as your memory card. It also helps lower power consumption for longer battery life.
Superb Shooting Control - Video Snapshot, Quick Start, Quick Charge, Dual Shot and More
Video Snapshot The Video Snapshot Mode of the FS21 will let you shoot short movie clips in the same way you've shot snapshots with your still camera. Simply capture a series of 4-second video clips, blend in one of 10 supplied music tracks, or your favorite background music, and create an entertaining movie that will hold everyone's attention. It's the perfect way to document your vacation or a family milestone.
Quick Start Never miss a quickly unfolding shot again. Now, Quick Start is linked to the LCD display panel. Shooting is possible the moment the LCD is opened. By keeping the LCD screen closed between shots, Quick Start allows you to save battery power so you get longer battery life.
Widescreen HR Recording The FS21 records true High Resolution Widescreen for picture perfect video. Canon's Widescreen HR Mode uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9 widescreen. What difference does it make? It's simple. The more pixels captured, the better your final image quality is.
Quick Charge When you've got a lot to shoot but not a lot of time to recharge your batteries, the Quick Charge feature comes to the rescue. In 20 minutes, you can charge up to approximately 60 minutes of recording time! It's ultra-fast battery charging when you need it most.
Dual Shot Dual Shot Mode makes capturing video and photos faster and easier than ever. Both types of images can be captured in the same mode - without requiring any switching. This ensures you will be ready to capture the action when it starts helping you to avoid the chance of a missed shot.
Image Stabilizer Canon's industry-leading image stabilization will give your video a more professional look, with rock-steady shots, even when you're shooting at maximum telephoto range.
Pre-record The Pre-record feature places your FS21 in a stand-by "pre-roll" mode. With this feature the camcorder continuously records three seconds of video to memory before you even press the record button. When you start recording, the additional video is recorded too, It will be easier than ever to capture the moment when the bat hits the ball at the start of that home run.
Joystick Control The Joystick makes using the camcorder easier than ever. Extra buttons have been eliminated, allowing you to access many functions from one convenient place. The Joystick lets you control Play, Stop, Fast Forward, and Rewind functions during playback. It also controls exposure lock and exposure compensation during recording.
Variable Zoom Speed Control Another sure sign of amateur video is the unsteady zoom shot. But with the FS21's zoom control, you simply select one of three pre-set zoom speeds for smooth, steady, professional-looking zooms.
Level and Grid Markers With the Level Marker feature, it's easy to keep your camera level for more professional-looking video. Line up any horizontal lines in your shot - such as the horizon - to the marker and you can be sure your camcorder is level.
The FS21's Grid Marker feature lets you compose your shot accurately, according to the grid in your viewfinder. You can even choose from two different colors for the grid. This ensures that you see the grid, no matter what the background color of your shot is.
Program AE For the best exposure for various situations, the FS21's Program AE mode will automatically adjust the settings to compensate for the conditions and subject. Choose from Portrait, Sports, Night, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Spotlight and Fireworks. You won't have to guess if you're capturing all the action just the way you want it because the FS21 will do it for you.
Low Light Performance Some of the most magical shots are taken at the end of the day or long after the sun has set. You won't miss any of them, thanks to the FS21's built-in video light. The light lets you shoot subjects in color in low light up to 4.9 feet away. So, whether it's a shot of a sleeping baby, or a dramatic skyline at night, the FS21 captures all the moments you want to record.
Canon FS21 camcorder highlightsDVD Burner Compatible You can also easily burn DVDs of the video shot with your FS21 as it is compatible with Canon's DW-100 DVD Burner. A one-cable connection is all it takes to send the files across and with the click of a few buttons; your videos will be burned to a disc ready to play in a compatible DVD player.
Stunning Digital Photography
The FS21 has many advanced photo features which make it a camera that rivals other state-of-the-art digital cameras. You get the best of both video and photos.
Megapixel Photos The same 1.07-megapixel CCD that ensures sharp, vivid video also gives you brilliant digital photographs. You will be able to capture outstanding digital photographs with a resolution of 1152 x 684 for sharp, crisp still images.
Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV II Image Processor features improved continuous shooting of digital photographs with the FS21. You can shoot five 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy faster processing of your images to both the FS21's internal memory as well as your memory card.
Focus Features Auto Intelligent Auto Focus (AiAF) ensures sharp images and gives creative flexibility. Even when your subject isn't in the center of the frame, the FS21's 9 Point AiAF will automatically select from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp focus.
Auto Exposure Modes Like any good digital still camera, the FS21 lets you choose from a range of exposure modes. Auto mode automatically sets the exposure, letting you concentrate on your subject. TV (shutter priority) mode lets you select the shutter speed for sharp, action shots. In P (program) mode, the camcorder adjusts camera settings automatically.
Program AE Mode Your life happens everywhere, so the FS21 gives you settings that automatically result in the best exposure settings for different conditions and different subjects.
Portrait mode ensures shallow depth of field for a pleasing background to your shots of friends and family. Sports mode stops the action with faster shutter speeds. Night mode is designed to give you great shots after the sun goes down. Snow and Beach modes compensate for bright surroundings and give you the proper exposure on your subject. Sunset mode results in vibrant, well-exposed colors for one of the toughest subjects to capture. Use Spotlight mode when your child is on stage and in the spotlight - literally - and you want to make sure the exposure is right for them. And, Fireworks mode records brilliant images of another tough subject: the holiday fireworks display.
Level and Grid Markers With the Level Marker feature, it's easy to keep your camera level for more professional-looking photographs. Line up any horizontal lines in your shot - such as the horizon - to the marker and you can be sure your camcorder is level.
Print/Share Print/Share turns your FS21 into a photo lab in the palm of your hand. Simply connect your camcorder directly to select Canon printers or any PictBridge-compatible printer with the supplied USB cable. Then, with a simple touch of the Print/Share button, print directly from your FS21 without going through a computer.
Print/Share also makes it easy to transfer your still images to your computer. Simply connect your FS21 and your computer, press the Print/Share button and your photos are downloaded to your computer.
SDHC Memory Card The FS21 makes it easy to store digital photos onto an SDHC Memory Card.
DVD Burner Compatible You can also easily burn DVDs of your still photos taken with your FS21 as it is compatible with Canon's DW-100 DVD Burner. A one-cable connection is all it takes to send the files across and with the click of a few buttons; your photos are ready to share with all.
2.7-inch Widescreen LCD
The 2.7-inch Widescreen LCD on the FS21 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. There's no need to imagine what your final image will look like on your widescreen television because it's squeezed into a small space while you're shooting. What you see will be what you get.

U.S. customs officials did not have proper technology to detect depleted uranium shipped into the country in 2002 and 2003, an internal audit showed Thursday as it urged changes in the inspection process.
WASHINGTON U.S. customs officials did not have proper technology to detect depleted uranium shipped into the country in 2002 and 2003, an internal audit showed Thursday as it urged changes in the inspection process.
In a report assessing how the toxic substance, shipped by ABC News reporters, was allowed into the country, the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general called for improvements in Customs and Border Protection procedures to properly screen cargo shipments.
"Improvements are needed in the inspection process to ensure that weapons of mass destruction or other implements of terror do not gain access to the U.S. through oceangoing cargo containers," the report said.
Depleted uranium is a slightly radioactive byproduct of nuclear fuel production which strengthens ammunition and gives weapons twice the range of ones using other heavy metals.
"Detection equipment and search protocols and procedures are the two areas where improvements would enhance the effectiveness of the inspection process," the report added.
Homeland Security officials said the uranium emitted very little radiation since it was depleted, and equipment used by customs officials at the time was designed to detect highly-enriched uranium, not depleted uranium.
They added that hundreds of highly sensitive radiation detection monitors had since been deployed around the country with more planned for 2005.
The issue of cargo inspections was raised on Wednesday night at the final presidential debate, when Sen. John Kerry criticized the Bush administration for inspecting only 5 percent of cargo shipments coming into the country.
Inspector General Clark Kent Ervin launched an investigation at the request of lawmakers after ABC News shipped a 15-pound cylinder of depleted uranium to the United States on two occasions without it being detected.
In 2002, ABC News reporters shipped the uranium from Turkey to the United States in a suitcase that was placed inside an ornamental chest. Although the crate containing the uranium was targeted as "high-risk" for screening by customs officials, they did not detect the depleted uranium.
One year later, ABC News shipped the same cylinder of depleted uranium from Jakarta, Indonesia, to the United States. Although the crate containing the uranium was again targeted as a "high-risk" shipment, it was allowed through.
"Equipment and protocols in place today detect not only highly enriched uranium ... but also other materials that could emit smaller levels of radiation," said Homeland Security spokeswoman Katy Mynster.

Matza Balls: the Key to Success
There is nothing like a white, fluffy, matza ball in rich, warm chicken soup. If I want to serve another soup on Friday night, I still need to make chicken soup with matza balls for my kids. It just isn't Friday night without it.
Good matza balls need to be flavorful, round, and light. For many, this outcome is not so simple. Here are some tips for perfect matza balls every time.
· Do not overmix the batter
· Refrigerate at least 2 hours before forming balls
· Gently, and without too much handling, form the balls
· Use seltzer instead of water in your favorite recipe
Fluffy Matzah Balls
4 large eggs
2 T vegetable oil
½ c seltzer
1 c matza meal
salt and pepper to taste
Mix eggs well with a fork. Add the oil to combine. Add the matza meal and salt and pepper and mix well. Mix in the seltzer. Cover and refrigerate for several hours.
Bring water and salt to a boil in a large pot. Dip your hands in cold water and gently make about 10 balls slightly smaller than ping-pong balls. Place the matza balls in the water. Cover and simmer about 30 or until soft.

Behind Bars
Five Questions for the Bartender: Oliver's Twist's Brady Sprouse
"I'd probably roam the land fighting zombies."
Some say that he's a workaholic with "800 jobs," but Brady Sprouse, bartender at Oliver's Twist and Smith, says, "I just work a lot." Besides Oliver's Twist (where he's worked for about two and a half years) and Smith (where he fills in two nights a week), Sprouse has tended the bar at a number of favorite Seattle drinking establishments: Hazlewood, Spur, Cicchetti, Still Liquor, and Revel, to name a few.
Here, five questions for Brady.
What's the most underrated spirit? I think Drambuie gets kind of a bad rap but can be very versatile in cocktails and sours. Unfortunately it's mainly associated with the Rusty Nail which, incidentally, can be a great little drink when you're not being forced to take it as shots by a crazy Scottish chef on Tuesday nights in your early twenties. That never happened to me, obviously. Just an example.
What is everyone ordering at Oliver's Twist these days? The Barrel Aged Duff and Blathers. The Duff and Blathers is one of our house cocktails made with rye whiskey, Averna, maraschino liqueur, orange bitters, and our house black pepper tincture. It's been on the menu for quite a while. A couple years ago we started a barrel aging program and that was one of the drinks we chose—the result is amazing.
What current cocktail trend is completely overrated? Ridiculous markups on semioverrated, limited release spirits. Other than that, I try not to get too worked up about trends. They're all fun, more or less, even if it's only for a moment.
What is the craziest thing you've ever seen happen in a bar? Once, when I was working at Hattie's Hat, someone threw a pint glass through the giant front window of King's Hardware. From the inside. It left a perfect cartoon-like hole in the window the size of a pint glass.
If the bar and restaurant world suddenly disappeared, what would you do? Well, that would mean the apocalypse had actually happened and the world would have fallen into chaos, so, I'd probably roam the land fighting zombies and alien ninjas. I'd have a sweet Road Warrior car and a bunch of friends and we'd kick ass and chew bubble gum. The bubble gum would probably run out pretty quickly, though. That, or I would finally finish college. Either one would be cool.

The city of Tijuana in Baja, California is often recognized by many for its tourism and manufacturing industries. The city's proximity to Southern California and the US border attracts both tourists looking for a good time on the infamous Avenida Revolucion, and a number of foreign companies looking to establish manufacturing plants. Tijuana also boasts a vast arts community. The arts community is very active and world renowned for its various types of art including drawing, painting, graffiti, and music. The city of Tijuana is also where one of the Lowrider Culture's most recognizable artist was born and raised and where he honed his talents.
The multi-talented artist known as Fonzy got his start at creating art as a young child in his hometown of Tijuana. As luck would have it, Fonzy's mom is an art teacher, which gave him a great learning foundation. As soon as he was old enough to hold a drawing instrument, he was drawing everything from cartoon characters to different styles of lettering, and of course, women! His mother showed him the basics, and as he got older, he was influenced by other artists and his surroundings. Soon, not only was Fonzy painting and drawing, he was airbrushing as well. He noticed the growing Lowrider Culture in Tijuana and wanted to be a part of it; something he would soon accomplish through his airbrushing.
As great as the city of Tijuana is, Fonzy had the desire to grow as an artist and get more involved with the Lowrider Culture. He knew his options were limited in Tijuana, so he headed north to the Los Angeles area and ended up in the suburb of Montebello, California. In a matter of time, Fonzy started to get known for his airbrushed murals and his personal style. His identity was being formed, both artistically and literally.
When Fonzy moved to Montebello, he was not going by Fonzy, he was going by his birth name. The nick name Fonzy came from a combination of a fictional television show character and a reference from a friend of his.
In case some of you don't know, from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, there was a television show called "Happy Days." One of the characters on the show was named "Fonzie," and he was the coolest character on the show. He dressed in a leather jacket, cuffed jeans, and had a pompadour. Fonzy has always been a huge fan of anything from the 1950's era and considers himself a "Greaser," so he was already dressing similar to the character from "Happy Days" when he moved to Montebello. His friend, Joker, from Elegants Car Club started to call him "Fonzie." Fonzy liked the nickname and decided to keep it, but changed the "ie" to a "y." Another personal style accessory, Fonzy is also known for the ever present wooden match stick he places in the corner of his mouth. It's a part of him that he is never without. Some people need coffee every morning; Fonzy needs his match every morning.
Fonzy's artistic abilities got him recognized fairly quick, and he was able to work on some of the top Lowrider builds like "Hustler 63" from Los Angeles Car Club, "Sundance" from Southside Car Club, and Miami, Florida's "Certified Gangster," to name a few. Through his work, he has traveled to Rome, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and various cities in the United States to work on customer projects. In September of 2011, he will be heading to London, England.
He has collaborated with companies like Tribal Gear, House of Kolor, Iwata, Alsa and Aset, to name a few. Fonzy and his art have also been featured in Lowrider Magazine, Lowrider Arte, Rebel Rodz, Airbrush Action, and a number of Japanese magazines like 38 Timez, Lost Angels, and Lowrider Japan. He has also been featured on the hit show "Living the Low Life," and on Urban Latino TV.
I asked Fonzy to describe his artistic style, and he described it as "Low Greaser." He explained that his art work is a mix of the Lowrider Culture and his Greaser style, and because he likes both styles, he combines them to make his own style.
Although Fonzy is well known for his airbrush art, he also dabbles in pinstripe, digital work, and more recently, he started tattooing on a regular basis. Initially, he began to tattoo around ten years ago, but did not put too much time into tattooing because he was doing a lot of murals at the time. As he has started to concentrate on his tattoo art, he has built up quite a client base. Like his airbrush art, he is striving to be the best tattoo artist he can be by practicing and fine-tuning his techniques. Like many of his fellow artists, Fonzy feels that the tattoo culture offers something different artistically, and what he learns in tattooing can be applied to his other artistic mediums.
In late 2010, Fonzy opened Greaskull Tattoo Alley in Fullerton California. The studio is a place for Fonzy to tattoo as well as draw, paint, and airbrush. People can also come in to Greaskull and purchase his art work. Fonzy also started a clothing brand called Greaskull as well. As of right now, the clothing brand consists of tee shirts with Fonzy's artwork, but will eventually be expanded to a full line of merchandise with his designs.
With the opening of Greaskull Tattoo Alley, we asked Fonzy if he had any other plans for the future. He responded, "Well, I have a lot of goals for the future, but sometimes it's better living in the present, because if you are always thinking of the future, you don't realize that you have to do better things in the present to have a better future." He ended his response with this statement; "People always dream, but you have to wake up and start doing your own thing and live your dream." Judging on Fonzy's accomplishments, he has been wide awake, doing his own thing and living his dream since he was a young child.
